Ricky's 120 Gallon Mixed Reef

So far nothing, a little color difference but the PO4 hasn't moved at all.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I became impatient and added mine yesterday. I put it in a Boyd Chemi Bag and placed it between the overflow and the feed pump of my protein skimmer (tied it off so it can't block the skimmer pump). From the description I read, they need lots of aeriated water to function correctly. My Phosphate and Nitrate levels are at zero - so for me, this is a preventative measure. I don't have any corals yet, need another month aging before my first purchase.

 

Are you using a photometer to test PO4? Elos PO4 kit reads my PO4 at 0ppm but the Hanna Photometer reads 0.07ppm (+- 0.03ppm).

 

No Photometer - Using test kit.

 

Lots of new growth!

 

I don't think the algae will disappear for a month or two even in the PO4 is 0. It just takes a while for it to go away. I got my PO4 down to .02 -.05 with the algae scrubber and it took a couple months for it all to go away and there wasn't more than about the size of my fist in the whole tank.
Keep us updated on the pellets and great looking tank..K+

 

Thanks, I'll keep the pellets in the reactor until they dissolve.

The algae on the frag rack is going away after I added 10 new Astraea snails.
